Thank you, Charlie.

It is a shame that Jim's son and daughter are either not available or 
uninterested.  I wish I could help but have neither the knowledge nor 
the proximity to be of any use.

One think I hope you told Mrs. Thompson is how highly regarded and 
admired Jim was by the Old Tools group.  Also I hope you mentioned to 
Mrs. Thompson that just about everyone here would love to have a 'Jim 
Thompson Trophy Tool.'  If it is at all possible, she (or her assistant 
in the task) would do all of us a wonderful favor if they would pick 
tools Jim personalized and offer them to the members of this list.  I 
would be glad to pay market value plus a premium for any tool that has 
Jim's deft touch in its rehabilitation or manufacture.
